Karin Ekberg (Leadership & Sustainability) and Antje Fehling (Helly Hansen) will present and discuss the results of benchmarking 8 outdoor brands. For the benchmarking, we used the SAC (Sustainable Apparel Coalition) Higg Brand Module’s social and environmental questionnaires. The anonymous results are interesting with regards to the degree of alignment and adoption of the Higg Brand Module by brands – both SAC members and non-members alike.
